Lean TOC in a nut-shell What is Lean
Manufacturing

• Lean is a leading edge manufacturing technology
  which aims to identify and eliminate or reduce
  Lean Wastes (non value added activities) in any
  manufacturing environment (regardless of size or
  industry) by using systematic Lean Tools.
• The Lean Wastes are
• Excess Inventory
• Maintaining excess inventory of raw materials,
  parts in process, or finished goods
• Overproduction
• Producing more than is needed before it is needed
• Motion
• Any wasted motion to pick up parts or stack parts
• Transportation
• Wasted effort to transport materials, parts, or
  finished goods into or out of storage
• Waiting
• Material awaiting to be processed or to be
  transported
• Over processing
• Doing more work than is necessary
• Correction
• Repair or Rework
• Unutilized Human Resources

5
Lean TOC in a nut-shell What Is The TOC

• The Theory of Constraints is a focused and proven
  approach of identifying what limits (constraints)
  a system from achieving its profit goals or
  continuously achieving higher goals and
  exploiting these constraints in order to achieve
  quantum gains within a very short period of time
• Advanced Manufacturing Consultancy approaches
  Manufacturing Solutions by using the Theory of
  Constraints to identify System Limitations
  (Constraints) and using Lean Tools to eliminate
  Waste at the constraint

This results in unbelievable leaps of
increased Productivity and Throughput within a
very short period of time

Credentials

• Lean Manufacturing in general opinion is too
  BIG and difficult to be achieved. But with AMC as
  our trainer/consultants Lean has become easily
  understood by Belton candidates of all levels.
  Lean has become applicable in Belton
• Pongyut, Director of
  Engineering
• Belton Industrial,
  Thailand
• .result is...very ordinary people here (
  Production Supervisors, Engineers), moving on
  very ordinary projects ( Poka--yoke, UPH
  improvement, Kanban system, etc) for some VERY
  extra-ordinary results. I  am very pleased that
  so much dollars and cents has been saved with a
  lot of simple, sensible and stellar projects.
• Keep up the good work and I am so proud with all
  of you.

• 
  MSP, Ipoh (NSK Group)
• Lean Manufacturing is an effective tool to
  reduce wastage, optimize capacities reduce
  costs.AMCs course taught us the effectiveness
  of various Lean Tools.The course is very
  interactive and the simulation games are very
  interesting. The course instructors use their
